Summary

This single-center, prospective, open-label, quasi-experimental, intra-individual comparative study will include a consecutive cohort of 21 patients with diffuse or limited, minimally active scleroderma with 3 to 30 years of evolution.

Patients will have 4 sessions of pulsed dye laser 595 nm spaced 8 weeks apart. The final quadruple evaluation by several evaluators will be 2 months after the last session, on the following criteria: evolution of the number of telangiectasia; subjective improvement score (LINKERT scale); impact on quality of life (SKINDEX score); visual analog pain scale (VAS); adverse events (AEs), including discontinuation of treatment due to post-session purpura (AT-PPS); patient satisfaction (yes or no).
